Chocolate Raspberry Cupcakes for Girls Night Out

Treat your girlfriends to a special Girl’s Night Out with these Chocolate Raspberry Cupcakes! A simple box cake mix gets dressed up with Chocolate Mousse, Fresh Raspberry Buttercream Frosting and a Cupcake Wrapper from Bella Cupcake Couture.

I’m excited to be joined today by amazing cupcake bakers for the Cupcake Couture Blog Party, sharing their recipes along with a Cupcake Giveaway!

If you have been following Cupcake Boot Camp, you have been learning a little more about cupcakes and how simple they can be. You can dress up an ordinary box mix cupcake by adding a delicious frosting and a cupcake wrapper, like the Damask Cupcake Wrapper I have around the Chocolate Raspberry Cupcakes.

Add a little wine and a basket with lotions and finger nail polish and you have a fun and super easy Girl’s Night Out.
